Just came up with a little idea to keep me (and hopefully you guys) somewhat entertained while also paying attention to basketball until this crappy season finally ends.

We can do this like once every month up until the draft and then this is the type of thread that will be really cool to look back on after the draft.

So we'll take turns making a pick as to who we think will go in what spot in the draft and why that particular team would want that player.

Alright here are my guidelines just so you guys have an idea of what I'm talking about (definitely feel free to write whatever you want on your selection and make a selection for any reason you want as long as it's somewhat valid though)

1. Name the player you think will go in that spot
2. Write a little something about why they will go there and/or why that team would be interested in them
3. Put your name at the end so we can see who did each one
4. If you've just done a pick, probably wait about 5 picks at least until you do another one so everyone can get a chance.

Here are links to both the DraftExpress and nbadraft.net draft boards in case you need to do a little research.

I put all the teams on here using the current standings so you guys can copy and paste and also I'll make the 1st pick:

1. Nyets - John Wall: Having Devin Harris already on the roster isn't a big enough reason to take Turner instead of Wall. -roundhouse

Soo true about the Pacers.

They love getting white guys on the team even more than the Wolves do.

Howl to roundhouse for this great idea!!!
And also happy 70th birthday mr.roundhouse.

I hope Favors and Whiteside fall in the draft like this in real life so the wolves can trade up to get one of them

Completely agree. It was a toss-up for me to either put Cousins or Favors at #3 (and I saw that you actually had put Favors at 3) but went with Cousins, because I'd love to see the Pacers get Favors at 4 and build a better team. Why? I have no idea, but Granger, Favors, and Hibbert would be a nice frontcourt!
